Reloading a Human Memory: A New Ethical Question for Artificial Intelligence Technology

Kenneth Mark Colby

Abstract

With the great amount of attention now being paid by the media to AI, it would be naive, shortsighted, and even self-deceptive to think that there will not be public interest in scrutinizing, monitoring, regulating, and even constraining our efforts. What we do can affect people's lives as they understand them. People are going to ask not only what we are doing but also whether it should be done. We should be prepared to participated in open discussion and debate on such ethical issues.
